It’s been a long long time coming… but our whole team is here together ! Late on Tuesday night the Fletchers flew into the hazy skies of Lima, greeted by the usual damp and dark but always dusty city. The advantage of the always late arriving Continental Flight 590 from Houston is that after passing through immigration and customs and what not the streets are as free of traffic as you’ll ever find them. Justin, John Mark and I all took our cars to the airport and it took all three to haul off all of the Fletchers, their friend Hope and their mountain of bags and car seats and whatever else they could smuggle onto the plane.
With all of the bags piled in JM’s and Justin’s cars I got to carry the Fletchers to their house that’s been waiting for them to arrive. As we drove past many businesses closed for the night and dozen’s of little casinos, then down along the rocky beach, I tried to remember the feelings and first impressions that came with our move here and our 2am drive from the airport. Their days are now full of trying to turn their new house into their new home.
It’s just really great for us to be together. With the Fletchers here now their is no more sense that part of us is missing. While hanging around at the airport before they got through customs, Mark joked to the Fletchers through JM’s camera, “You. Complete. Me.” Which, we all of course know is a bit of an exagerration, but there is a sense of that feeling all the same. Our team is here. Complete. We are so excited!
Welcome Fletchers!
